Most likely the organic compound that contains a carbonyl group bonded near to the end of the chain would be an aldehyde. Unlike a ketone where the carbonyl can be found anywhere within the chain, an aldehyde, is specifically found near the end of the compound, because it would be bonded to H as well.

Answer : The correct option is, Aldehyde.

Explanation :

Ketone group : It is the class of organic compound in which the [tex]-CO[/tex] group is attached to a hydrocarbon is known as ketone.

The general representation of ketone are, [tex]R-CO-R'[/tex].

For example : Acetone, [tex]H_3C-CO-CH_3[/tex]

Aldehyde group : It is the class of organic compound in which the [tex]-CHO[/tex] group is attached to a hydrocarbon is known as aldehyde.

The general representation of aldehyde are, [tex]R-CHO[/tex].

For example : Ethanal , [tex]H_3C-CH_2-CHO[/tex]

Ether group : It is the class of organic compound in which the oxygen is directly attached to the two alkyl group of carbon is known as ether.

The general representation of ether are, [tex]R-O-R^'[/tex].

For example : Dimethyl ether, [tex]H_3C-O-CH_3[/tex]

Amine group : It is the class of organic compound in which the [tex]-NH_2[/tex] group is directly attached to the alkyl group of carbon is known as amine.

The general representation of amine are, [tex]R-NH_2[/tex].

For example : Ethylamine, [tex]H_3C-CH_2-NH_2[/tex]

As per question, aldehyde is an example of an organic compound that contains an attached carbonyl group at the end of the carbon chain.

Hence, the correct option is, Aldehyde.
